I would tend to agree that the Daily was wrong to let this be represented in their name. Let her go on Twitter so she only represents herself.It wasn’t an editorial, it wasn’t a letter from the president. It was on the Opinions page of the student newspaper. Letters from students in a student newspaper do not necessarily reflect the views of the university, the faculty or the AD.
It is the opinion of a student expressing some concerns and frustration. That’s part of what student newspapers do.
I expect the AD will respond, and they should. The university absolutely should explain why some students will be permitted back on campus, but most will not. I think they have a good explanation that is consistent with their mission and values. So let them give it.
The university (not the AD) also totally messed up how they are handling winter quarter and the timing of that announcement really screwed many students, which I imagine is contributing to the frustration.
